A pub with rooms in an adjacent building. The room was well appointed and being in an old building had odd corners and ceilings.We had a skylight looking onto other roofs - disappointing viewThe lobby has wellies and umbrellas for guests to useBreakfast is in the dining room of the pub - it was good with very well sourced ingredients and nicely presentedApparently the pub does good meals but we did not get a chance to try this out

We had a great lunch here - fish and chips twice followed by an Eton Mess for two to share. Food beautifully presented and tasted good too. Service with a smile and biscuits for our puppy. We have been several times when on holiday and this has always been a reliably good place to come.

Came upon the Greyhound by chance, sadly it was closed that evening but decided to go back with friends the following day. Wonderful food, well worth the trip back. Would go again. The slow roast belly pork was wonderful!

Six of us booked for dinner on Good Friday evening. Our table was in a very crowded main bar area where a quiz night was being held (no mention of this when we booked) and not in the restaurant which remained empty all night for some strange reason. We had a vase of Daffodils on the table which would have been a nice touch had they not been dead!! The lady who took our order was very friendly and took our order in the way you would expect. I had Mussels, which were overcooked and accompanied by stale bread. Two people had Fish n Chips which were grossly overpriced in relation to the portion size- it was a case of spot the fish inside the thick layer of batter.The rest of the party deemed their meal as average. We were planning to stay for dessert but the Quizzers were hovering around our table waiting for our seats which made everyone feel uncomfortable. One final grizzle - I went to the bar to buy a round of drinks and part way through serving me the barman answered the phone and left me standing while he had a fairly long conversation- no apology followed!. We eat out a lot in the area and whist the Greyhound has a lovely character it lets itself down with the food and service and we certainly wouldn't go back there in a hurry!

.....We were warmly greeted on a damp Saturday afternoon. The Inn was warm and welcoming in atmosphere, the staff were attentive and food was served promptly. We had a lovely warm welcome from Annabel and Theresa and team.

All four of us had the salmon main course with a curried type sauce, rice and onion Bahji. The salmon was moist and full of flavour as were the sauce and accompaniments. The 'starters' were very good indeed and in particular, the haggis starter with egg and root mash was quite delicious, and it was a clever idea to pair haggis with a perfectly cooked egg.

A variety of deserts were served, particularly well executed were the lemon posset, which had an intense citrus flavour and the prosecco jelly (which I asked for with cream). The latter was a light and delicious end to the meal. Somehow, the chef (Conrad) had managed to preserve the 'petillant' character of the prosecco within the jelly, which was a 'tour de force' and attractively served in a flute served upon a sugar coated plate with strawberry and cream on one side. Coffee was served with some petits fours.

The restaurant was busy with a large party, but this did not affect the service or the quality of the food. Altogether a fine lunch, we left full of good food!

The Macon Villages white which we drunk, was particularly good as well, not too dry and ideal with the curried salmon having a good body and no acidity.

Thank you, Greyhound Inn, for an enjoyable lunch! We will return.....!

Handsome 18th century coaching inn in one of England's prettiest villages, full of thatched cottages with a trout stream running through. Mentioned in Thomas Hardy's novels and the setting for Hollywood films of his work.Six newly refurbished bedrooms, dvds, ipod docks, proper pillows and duvets, wellies for bad weather and an award winning restaurant just across the car park from our stable block rooms.Families positively welcomed and we'll make you something to eat no matter what time you arrive....more less
